When the Pittsburgh Steelers fired offensive coordinator Matt Canada last Tuesday morning, it was all but guaranteed that all eyes would be on QB Kenny Pickett and the rest of the offense Sunday afternoon when they took the field against the Cincinnati Bengals. Would the performance be more of the same? We might actually get an answer to the Steelers’ chicken and the egg question: Was Canada holding Pickett and company back, or was Pickett wrecking everything?
Well, early returns Sunday showed that perhaps the move to fire Canada should have come much earlier as a number of fans and media had called for.
